I really need some help, my computer keeps projecting these weird red lines onto my monitor when I'm playing a game, it will start to do this when I'm playing a game or even when I'm at the menu screen trying to log into the desktop. It does it randomly, some days I can play a game for a couple hours other days I can only play for a split second. When it does this weird lines thing it freezes my computer and when I restart my computer enough times it will fix the issue for a short while. But when this thing happens when I restart my computer the red lines come up on my boot up screen. I've checked my temps while playing games and it all is normal and not overheating. My graphics card is a GTX 760 and is fairly new it started doing this for a couple weeks now. Below is a link which shows the pictures of what I am dealing with I am hoping that someone can build me into the right direction and or help me solve the problem.

Need your system full specs, including brand and model of power supply. Is anything overclocked? If it is, set to stock speeds.

First step, test the card in another system that has a good quality power supply that can run the card. If it works there, you can either swap out the power supply in your system and test it, or try on a clean Windows setup with new drivers setup. Also try using a different monitor connection.
 
I've tried using another monitor and the lines still popped up, my cpu temp while playing games was 81 Celsius, all my drivers are good. My computer is an avatar with I5-4576 and a intel I5 4570. My power supply is 500W hopefully thi is enough information to help out.
 


That is just the wattage of the power supply, what is the brand and model? A ton of dung is not as good as 1 lb of gold, same thing with just going by the wattage of a power supply.

Testing with another monitor is good, but you also need to test the card in another system, that will tell you at least where to look for issues.
 
that looks like an issue with the Graphics Card. You may need to replace it.
Its probably over heating or an issue with the RAM on it.

Kinda reminds me of when nVidia had all those bad GPU used in all those laptops a few years ago.


 


That is total junk, it's basically a box with random parts inside as much as a power supply. It's very likely the cause of the issue, and it may have damaged the video card, you need to test the card in another system.

Replace it with a Tier 1,2 maybe 3 from here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
